Yeah other peeps can take over your vehicle, if someone is using the AMS or tank or whatever it obviously won't disapear.

I wonder if you can dissasemble your vehicals at will? It would make sense if you could.

Sputty · 2003-01-11, 04:23 PM

Depending on the type of vehicle. Disassembling a tank would be pretty hard.

Camping Carl · 2003-01-11, 05:23 PM

Or even better, what about a self-destruct?

It only makes sense that vehicles not being used disappear. This game it going to be tough enough on our bandwidth constraints without having the entire PlanetSide landscape littered with the carcasses of destroyed vehicles.

As for logging out.. I would assume there is a timer before the vehicle goes poof. This would be in case you get disconnected from the game for some reason. You would still have some time to get back in and still have your vehicle waiting for you. I wouldn't expect it to be long though.

Wow, thanks guys, okay thanks for clearing that up..

Ignore Me · 2003-01-11, 06:20 PM

they -probably- will put a timer on, like someone said, for the degrading of tanks or AMS's...

I also dont think they'll make something 'pop' if it's being used or something is in close proximity...

Oh man, I can't remember where I read it, but I think once you leave a vehicle it will remain there for 15 minutes. If no one gets in it for 15 minutes it dissasembles.

I remember seeing the 15 min to disassemble in a screenshot. It was in the chat box.

I hope you get warnings then :\ that would suck hopping off your basilisk to take a leak in a bush and comeing back to an empty space.

Duritz · 2003-01-11, 09:18 PM

Well the message said: The AMS you are binded to will deconstruct in 15 because of lack of driver.

It either said that exactly or something really close to it with the same meaning.

So you get a warning.

Now, while the AMS will autodeconstruct, if you are in an SOI any deployables will _not_. According to Rogue deployables will hang around after you log off and will still be there when you log back on unless they have been destroyed. But there will be an SOI limit on deployables, which beta will help determine.

Duritz · 2003-01-11, 09:37 PM

I think that an AMS is a little different than most other deployables.

1. all other deployables can only be set up in your own SOI i thought.
2. all other deployables are items carried around and then dropped, however the AMS is a vehicle.

I don't think that rougeps was talking about the AMS when he referred to deployables.
